because then there are showers along because of rain around the periphery of the area of low pressure and hide a cold front so we will see temperatures dropping back on saturday and it will feel colder once again. that is something that will be seen throughout the coming week. the storm, as well as bringing rain could bring damaging gusts of wind and that will bring trees and power lines down. you can see how tightly packed the isobars are on saturday through to sunday and this also has a?, will it bring more rain into southern areas? for now, let us look at the wind. very windy indeed and at the wind. very windy indeed and at the wind. very windy indeed and at the same time the lower starting to pull away so we see the rain risk receiving northwards and it looks to bea receiving northwards and it looks to be a dry day for those areas significantly affected by flooding but we would keep an eye on this developing weather front of low pressure towards the south because again that will come into southern areas and again dependent on the position of storm at the time we reach saturday and sunday. on monday

we are into a broad westerly atla ntic flow, we are into a broad westerly atlantic flow, wind flow, so that will bring showers. showers and sunny spells. into march, meteorological bring that will not feel warm. this week temperatures will stay below par because we are in cold air. because we have the low pressure system with us we are at risk from further spells of rain, rain, wind and showers, it looks like an unsettled picture and as you can see into next week. that is because the jetstream is still strong and still across our latitudes, it drives low pressure towards our shores but because we are on the northern edge rather than the southern edge of that, we get colder polar air and the risk of something wintry. some snow over the hills and the northern nighttime, frost as well. it stays unsettled basically as we head into next week and with temperatures a little lower than they should be at this time of year, the first week of march. perhaps reaching double figures

gci’oss perhaps reaching double figures across southern perhaps reaching double figures across southern areas perhaps reaching double figures across southern areas and always, the risk of something more u nsettled. the risk of something more unsettled. not raining all the time it does not look like when will be strong except around jorge coming in for the weekend. but it still looks u nsettled for the weekend. but it still looks unsettled and chilly with nighttime frost as well and the risk of winter and is the shower all along spells of rain. as ever, the warnings in detail on our website. hello, this is bbc news. we will be taking a look at tomorrow morning's papers in a moment. first the headlines: three more cases of coronavirus are confirmed in the uk, including the first in northern ireland. they are all receiving specialist care. our health service in northern ireland, just to reassure the public, is well used to dealing with such infections, and i want to reassure the public that we are prepared.

in china, in the city where it all started, one doctor says the world cannot afford to underestimate the coronavirus. in one night, i lost five lives. that's — that's really miserable, and i should warn the rest of the world that you guys should take care. the government's decision to build a third runway at heathrow airport is ruled unlawful by the court of appeal. reports dozens of turkish soldiers have been killed by syrian airstirkes, as government forces close in on the rebel—held province of idlib. ten more days of difficult conditions are predicted for parts of yorkshire and the west midlands already hit by flooding. hello and welcome to our look ahead

to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are former labour director of communications lance price and the political commentator and former conservative staffer jo—anne nadler. most of tomorrow's front pages are now in. the times carries a warning from the country's top doctor that major concerts and sports events could be cancelled in an effort to stop the spread of coronavirus. virus panic, says the mirror, as the uk's coronavirus cases rise and shoppers begin stockpiling hand gel. the metro carries the story of a man who, after calling the nhs hotline iii to report his flu—like symptoms, was sent to a busy hospital rather than being told to self—isolate. the financial times leads with the plunge in worldwide stock markets as traders dump shares amid coronavirus fears. financial analysts have told the guardian the virus could be as damaging to the world's economy as the crisis of 2008.

a different story on the front page of the daily mail. it leads with the news that canada will soon stop providing security for the duke and duchess of sussex. and the express leads with a warning from the uk to the eu saying that it will walk away from trade talks injune unless there is progress. so coronavirus dominating almost all of the front pages. let's see what our reviewers make of it all. we will start with the times. lance. yes, i think most of the papers have now got coronavirus as their main story, and i think this marks a tipping point in the way in which the media generally are looking at this. up until now, i think there has been a lot of reassurance about the fact that it is not on the scale

of the flu epidemic, for example, which we know kills thousands of people every year, and the figures here in the uk still for coronavirus are tiny by comparison. the times says it has risen by three to 16, and half of those have already been discharged from hospital. but what the chief medical officer, professor whitty, has pointed out, is that we are on the point of deciding whether or not we are prepared to confront it as an epidemic which could spread. the figures sound tiny at the moment. it could grow exponentially, and if they do, are we prepared them to take the measures necessary? he suggests that it isa measures necessary? he suggests that it is a decision that society must decide, whether the disruption and economic impact would be worth it. what that disruption could involve is the cancellation of massive events, glastonbury, big sporting

events, glastonbury, big sporting events, theatrical performances, other concerts, and so on. and i think this is a wake—up call for just how serious it could get. and for some readers, i think they will be scratching their heads saying, well, if the figures are so low, why are people being so apocalyptic about what the possible consequences could be? many people are saying, when we compare it, as you said, lance, do things like the flu or seasonal colds, the figures are relatively low. well, they are, thankfully, at this stage. and i think the reason why we are seeing these kinds of developments reported across the papers today is i think it reflects a kind of sober assessment on behalf of various authorities as to what is required to make sure that the figures stay relatively low. although you mentioned professor whitty, i relatively low. although you mentioned professorwhitty, i mean, the phrase that he has used, that is reported i think in the times,

certainly in some of the other papers, that it is only a matter of time before the outbreak grows in the uk, seems in many ways to be a fairly realistic statement of what most of us are expecting, unfortunately. i think perhaps one of the new points in the times article that we didn't reflect on la st article that we didn't reflect on last hour when we were here is the additional point that the ministry of defence is now also making preparedness plans, including the potentiality to use barix as quarantine areas. well, when we heard about the first case in northern ireland this evening, the chief medical officer there said we we re chief medical officer there said we were waiting for this. it was when, not if. there was also the question that we could see cases coming to the mainland from northern ireland. so they have put that as part of

their statement there as well. but i suppose the problem with coronavirus and why people are concerned is there are still so many unknowns about this virus. because we have had these cases where people have retested as positive. yes, there is a huge amount of uncertainty around it. so people aren't quite sure what they are supposed to be protecting themselves against. should you cancel all your holidays to tenerife? i have just cancel all your holidays to tenerife? i havejust got cancel all your holidays to tenerife? i have just got back from the canary tenerife? i have just got back from the ca nary islands, tenerife? i have just got back from the canary islands, and in fact, in latin america, where there was a case overnight. friends of mine are saying we were supposed to go next week, should i still go? the airlines are reporting a lot of people are cancelling their holidays because people just aren't sure. they don't know what they are supposed to do in order to protect themselves, so if the potential growth of the virus, the epidemic, is as has been described a possibility, then obviously people are going to play it safe, and they are going to play it safe, and they

are going to minimise their exposure to risk. but what i feel about the broadsheets particularly that we have looked at today is they still seem have looked at today is they still seem to be... i mean, it is quite a sober, sensible approach. whereas i think you referred to the mirror in the precis at the top, and they referred to a virus panic. i mean, i don't know, i am not seeing a panic. i think most people are being really quite sensible and taking everything in their stride, quite sensible and taking everything in theirstride, and quite sensible and taking everything in their stride, and we're just waiting for a bit more information, and the information is that which is i'iow and the information is that which is now being reported in the broadsheets. but, with all this uncertainty, it is certainly not good for the financial markets, and the front page of the guardian addresses this. this their lead story. yes, and the impact on the financial markets has been dramatic, andi financial markets has been dramatic, and i certainly didn't see this coming, andi and i certainly didn't see this coming, and i think this comes as a bit of a surprise to a lot of people, that they have been such dramatic falls, particularly in the american markets, with the ftse 100 american markets, with the ftse100 slumping by 3.5%. i think some of

the falls have been the biggest on record for one day, and the reason for it appears to be the coronavirus, as if somehow those people whose business it is to trade in currencies and options no more than the rest of us about how this might play out and they can use their crystal balls to look into the future and see the potential damage to the global economy. the guardian headline is that the coronavirus could be as damaging to the global economy as the 2008 crisis. and we rememberjust how economy as the 2008 crisis. and we remember just how severe economy as the 2008 crisis. and we rememberjust how severe that economy as the 2008 crisis. and we remember just how severe that was, the enormous damage it did, that we have barely recovered from, even now, more than ten years later. we really suggesting that the slowdown in the economy, simply because factories are closing, economic activity ceases or slows down dramatically, is going to have such an effect as that, that seems to be scaremongering. but maybe these people no more than we do. well, i

think the fact that we have people like the ecb commenting, the bank of england as well, and questions whether these institutions are likely to step in. i think they realise just how serious it is now. at the moment they are saying there isn't an immediate threat to sort of monetary stability. but of course, if you have an economy that is sort of fa st if you have an economy that is sort of fast becoming the engine of the world economy, that is the chinese economy, which i think is worth something like 17% of global gdp, clearly it is having a very pronounced effect on economic privity within china, and then we hear news that all of the schools in japan are closing. state schools, yes. for two months, that is when these things started to have a tangible knock on economic effect. and so it would be strange if the european institutions, financial institutions, weren't in some way affected by that. but the statements

that have come out of them today seem that have come out of them today seem to be, again, fairly reassuring for the time being. because you don't want to panic the markets. exactly. 0k, don't want to panic the markets. exactly. ok, let's turn to the front page of the ft, and the appeal court, no to the third runway hands johnson a free getaway. so again, this is something of a surprise, that the appeal court found the government had failed to take into account its own obligations that flowed from the paris climate change agreement to take into account the impact on climate change of the heathrow decision. and the significant point about that is that, having lost in the appeal court, the government is not now going to take it to the supreme court, which would have been the logical next step if it wanted to defend the decision taken by mrs may's government to allow this third ru nway to may's government to allow this third runway to go ahead. now, we know that boris johnson

runway to go ahead. now, we know that borisjohnson personally, his constituencies in the west of london, it is directly affected. when he was a backbencher he said he would lay down in front of the bulldozers rather than allow this to go ahead. and it looks as if politically this is a very convenient decision for him. superficially it looks as if it is a very convenient decision for him. but actually it has huge implications for the government. whether or not he or other ministers like the idea of the third runway, if they had to take the impact on the environment into account for any kind of... this is a big infrastructure projects, of course it is, and he and his government are committed to a massive range of infrastructure projects, whether it is rail or road or whatever else it is. and does that mean that in each and every one of those cases they are legally obliged, that is the application of this judgement, to ta ke application of this judgement, to take the impact on the climate into account? that really throws a lot of uncertainty on a vast amount of the announcements that we were expecting to come in the budget in a matter of

weeks. yes, i mean, you do have to wonder about the wisdom of setting yourself these legal restraints, as it were. one —— on potential future policymaking decisions. of course it is good in pr terms to say we are legally obliged to put all of our other legislation through these environmental audits, effectively. but in the last hour, i referred to it asjudicial but in the last hour, i referred to it as judicial oversight. i but in the last hour, i referred to it asjudicial oversight. i think that was a little unfair, in a sense, because judicial involvement has only come about because the government itself has legislated these terms. and that, i think, as you say, there is a danger there that what you end up with is a sort of complete stasis in being able to make any big decisions. do you know what the paris accord

equipments are? they were internationally agreed limits and targets but then the british government and this is the sort of thing that boris johnson government and this is the sort of thing that borisjohnson believes in very strongly, the british government being able to make its own decision about these things and that british law should be paramount. they put it into law. that we would be carbon neutral by 2050, whatever, i don't know all the details of exactly what the environment at says. but having done that it does then tie the hands of the government and the judges are simply interpreting that, really. there is a review now that needs to ta ke there is a review now that needs to take place. that may give prime ministerjohnson more time. potentially. and on this particular decision, although the government are not going to appeal to the supreme court it looks as though heathrow will. and as you said, it

has been indicated that this must be in industry led initiative. it will be fascinating to see what happens in the supreme court because that you could have, potentially, heathrow is a business entity in conflict with the government and, really, while i stand in favour of the invisible hand of the market there are moments where governments have to take decisions and this seems to me is something that most governments have been trying to avoid taking a decision over for the la st avoid taking a decision over for the last 17 years. staying with eft and brexit its front page, downing street issues a brexit track talk ultimatum and the deadline isjune. they will progress. if coronavirus was not dominating the headlines i think this would be a much bigger story. one of the surprises is that

the ft are the only newspaper who got this on the front page and it is quite a big moment because we now have the government's negotiating position and that negotiating position and that negotiating position is hardline which is what we suspected it to be, the eu position is equally hard line on their side. but it does seem that their side. but it does seem that the government under borisjohnson are now at least prepared to contemplate something that appeared to be off the table until recently, and that is, in effect, a no deal brexit and we were told before the general election and the opposition parties fell for this, that no deal brexit was off the table. we are right back into the possibility of a no deal brexit. and it is not only no deal brexit. and it is not only no deal brexit. and it is not only no deal at the end of the year because of the time lag, the government wants to know byjune

that the eu are prepared to budge or they will budge before they then commit themselves to in effect go to no deal. how seriously will the eu ta ke no deal. how seriously will the eu take this? over the last three years we have seen there is an awful lot of positioning by both sides but i don't —— i think they would take it seriously because borisjohnson has shown himself in a short time on this matter at least to be very much a man of his word. and i don't think they have any reason to doubt him. it is exactly the position, there has not been any ambivalence on behalf of the johnson government about how they wish to play this. and the degree of independence that they wish britain to have as a sovereign state when we finally conclude the negotiations. i think this comes down to the issue of

dynamic alignment and whether or not, effectively after having made the decision, that the eu would be able to impose various requirements on the uk going forward. it seems just a nonstarter, frankly, from a brexit's point of view so they should take it seriously. brexit's point of view so they should take it seriouslylj brexit's point of view so they should take it seriously. i wasjust going to say there is another important point about it which is that in the paper that has come out it is clear that he is backing away from agreements to which he put his name only last october. in the political declaration which i accept is not legally binding, but also in terms of the relationship between northern ireland and the rest of the uk, it puts a big? when it comes to other negotiations that he and his government have been involved in, whether or not the governments word and boris's word can be trusted. and if there is anything inconsistent with what he said. just enough time

now to look at the front page of the daily mail, the other story this evening that canada announcing that they will not pay for the sussex's security. if they are transitioning to be international celebrities rather than members of the royal family, it is difficult to see how the canadian government could justify paying for their security. presumably they don't pay for celine dion's security. so is it surprising? i don't know. perhaps the speed at which it is happened is. it raises questions about the need to have security, they are quite hope profile figures. if they are ata quite hope profile figures. if they are at a public event, the canadian police will still be involved. of course they will be because they will be doing their dayjob, if you like. so it is not as if they are

going to be left completely exposed with no protection from the mounties. they will still be there. the reaction we have had so far from the palace, the royals is that they do not comment on security matters but £20 million a year, a startling figure, you wonder how much they will have to earn to pay that particular bill. thank you very much to both of you. thank you for joining us this evening on the papers. don't forget you can see the front pages of the papers online on the bbc news website. it's all there for you seven days a week at bbc.co.uk/papers, and if you miss the programme any evening, you can watch it later on bbc iplayer. thank you. goodbye.

hello, i'm sarah mulkerrins at the bbc sport centre. it's heartbreak for arsenal as they were knocked out of the europa league this evening in dramatic fashion. they were taken to extra time by olympiakos in their last 32 tie — pierre emerick aubameyang with this stunning overhead kick in stoppage time thought he'd sent the gunners through to the last 16 but then yousef el arabi scored for olympiakos sending them through on away goals. well, it was a similar theme for celtic — also knocked out of the competition with a shock defeat at the hands of copenhagen. they lost 3—1 on the night, 11—2 on aggregate. but good news for manchester united, they progressed, odion ighalo scored his first goal his new team as they cruised into last 16 at the expense of club bruges. rob heath watched these two games.

celtic had not won a knockout tie in europe since defeating barcelona back into thousand and four. a win would see them join their arch rivals ranges in the final 16 but an away goal gave them a slender at vantage before this match. alas their defending in glasgow put them into distinct disadvantage. all at sea, second chances, copenhagen ahead. celtic drew level in the tie when copenhagen tried to match them for defensive stupidity. edward put the penalty away nonchalantly but in a thrice it was over. celtic‘s defence again on an away day. shortly afterwards, they made it three and that was over and out for celtic. large 32 stage again. ——

last 32 stage again. many of the manchester united faithful to this tournament as a mean to the ends, over traffic that would return them to the european top table top up their finances. to the european top table top up theirfinances. bruges to the european top table top up their finances. bruges dealt with their finances. bruges dealt with the early threat with a fantastic diving save and that was by their defender. he saw red. fernandez‘s although ball hit the net for a second goal into matches. he has what united have been client that crying out for. next ighalo was set up crying out for. next ighalo was set upfor crying out for. next ighalo was set up for his first united goal on his first start. united went three before halftime through scott it did feel like the glory days were back. for once, united fans could relax in the second half. time for fred to step up and add some gloss to the proceedings. two for him, five for united, the time that has happened in europe forfour years.

wolves are through to the last 16 despite losing the second leg of their tie against espanyol 3—2 , and this miss. pedro neto the guilty party. jonathan calleri scoring the winner for espanyol to complete his hat trick. the uae tour cycling race has been abandoned after officials said two italian cyclists had tested positive for the coronavirus. britain's adam yates had been leading the race, with chris froome among the riders to give his reaction on twitter. froome is riding in the event for team ineos, and said that it's a shame that the uae tour has been cancelled but public health must come first. organisers said that all the participants in the race will be tested for the virus. this the latest event to be cancelled because of the outbreak. yesterday, ireland's six nations games against italy scheduled for next weekend were postponed.

great britain's women's team pursuit squad had to settle for the silver medal at the track cycling world championships in berlin. the gb quartet lost out to the united states team in the gold medal final. that's all the sport for now. thursday was marked by the fact that some areas saw their first snow of the winter season thus far and, yet, it looks as though the rest of february will revert to type more. more heavy rains so further flooding can be expected, details on the website. the date is not really start in that vein, but towards the eastern side of the british isles original high—pressure overnight will have cleared the skies and temperatures will have fallen. that is not the case closer by to that weather front where increasingly through the course of the night i think we will find mild air pushing

in from the south—west and from the word go i am afraid it will be cloudy, wet and windy and that regime rather than cold dry bright that winds out across many parts of the british isles during the course of the day. some of the rain quite heavy and it will turn mild for england and wales as parts of northern ireland as well later on. much colder across a good part of scotland and that is not the only weather front we have to contend with. nor is it the only weather system because the spanish authorities have named this deep area of low pressure storm jorge which will dominate the weather right through the course of the weekend. saturday starts wet and windy and we need to press that weather front across all parts and then another portion following on to gang the showers up across scotland, northern ireland and the north of england as well where it will stay resolutely cold and not much warmer further south despite the presence of sunshine. throughout saturday into sunday it will be very windy

indeed. there are already met office warnings about the strength of this wind and some of the gusts and when i show you that charge —— charted as no surprise to see that those gusts of 50-60 mph no surprise to see that those gusts of 50—60 mph some exposed locations could see 70 mph. that is where we could see 70 mph. that is where we could get disruption to travel plans and it could mean that there are power outages as well. sunday, away from the centre of the low and these gangs of showers and longer spells of renal snow depending on elevation will not be a bad day. some sunshine around, a couple of passing wintry showers but it will not feel overly warm so watch out, keep an eye on the flooding and also on the forecast.

welcome to newsday on the bbc. i'm mariko oi in singapore. the headlines: the biggest points fall in wall street history as concern over the economic impact of coronavirus grows. and on the coronavirus front line. a chinese doctor tells the bbc the world can't afford to underestimate the threat. in one night, i lost five lives. i should warn the rest of the world that you guys should take care. i'm lewis vaughan jones in london. also in the programme: dozens of turkish soldiers killed in idlib — turkey says
